Gave a stupid pass to one of our players who was marked by two Feyenoord players to gift them the ball and couldn't stop the cross from coming in, Ederson shouldn't have allowed the ball to go past him but it was all started by another stupid decision from Gvardiol.

He's hung out to dry playing left of a 3 man defence. Salah will destroy him.How on earth is he at fault for anything but the first goal?
He is our best creator and second best goalscorer this season so needs to playing every single game he is fit, mistakes happen.

Thought he was playing well up to the first mistake, confidence is fragile
But it's not his positioning at LB or some winger burning him that I'm worried about, it's these brainfarts that no should make even out of position, there is no excuse for them.I said a month ago he needs a Kompany like partner alongside him to build his confidence and experience . He is OK going forward down the left but gets totally exposed as a left sided defender. He cost us the Cup Final and many games since -his confidence will soon be shot. He looks just as bad as he did in the late stages of the World Cup after rave reviews early on.

Sorry but he leaves a winger unmarked . When he does go towards them in the corner they just pass or run past him into our box and its ending up with goal after goal and that's before you add in the unforced errors.But it's not his positioning at LB or some winger burning him that I'm worried about, it's these brainfarts that no should make even out of position, there is no excuse for them.
I doubt playing him in this position will improve him because he has no pace and turns like a slowest tank. It's wishful thinking to believe he'll become a world-class wing-back, left-back, or left-side defender, as Pep hoped. The same mistakes have been repeated since the FA Cup final, with every opponent continuing to exploit the same pattern to attack our weakest flank. Scoring a few goals here and there doesn’t make him the best left-back or a classy defender at all!

Needs to be benched Salah will rip him a new one on Sunday if he plays
Yes but that's on Pep since he's not a natural LB. the unforced errors though are not acceptable.Sorry but he leaves a winger unmarked .

Agree. He’s making mental mistakes. It’s killing us but unless Dias can play I don’t see how gvardiol doesn’t. But I agree he needs a break. Same with a few of the other to be fair but we are bare bonesPlayed way too many games, seems like his body can handle it but not his mind
